APPENDIX 1
The following information is not in-
tended to form part of the Amendment, but is
included for the purpose of providing back-
ground information in support of the Amendment.
APPENDIX Z
1. BACKGROUND
Representations have been made to the Township of Clarke by
applicants who wish to establish mobile home retirement facilities
in the municipality.
In reviewing the desirability of the proposal Council assessed
the need for such development, the proposed location, surrounding
and proposed land uses and desirable development controls.
The Township is of the opinion than a need exists for this type
of housing accommodation and that such development would be an asset
to both the Municipality and the Province.
2. POPULATION TREND
Table 1 indicates that the retirement age population in
Ontario is increasing in both absolute terms and as a percentage
of total Ontario and Canadian population.
In response to similar trends in the Unfted States a number
of retirement communities have developed; however, the concept
of the providing a community aimed specifically at a retirement
aged population is a relativly new concept for Ontario.

(A-1)
The encourage^~ent of such communities in Ontario would have
a number of advantages among which would be the provision of a
stimulating environment for members of our rapidly increasing
retirement population.
3. RETIREMENT COMMUNITY REQUIREMENTS
The policies and community requis'em,ents set out in the Amend-
ment were formulated on the basis of the following assumptions:
(a) no industrial area will be necessary as a source of employ-
ment or as a source of tax revenue.
(b) standard open space and recreational facility requirements
must be increased to provide for the activities of the
resident.
(c) commercial facilities should be provided at a rate sufficient
to accomodate the daily needs of the residents.
(d) school facilities will not be necessary since:
(i) the occupancy of each unit will be limited
to two persons, and
(ii) the atmosphere and advertising of the
community will be geared to attracting retired
people.
(e) development is to take place on the basis of full services
and the community is to operate as a mobile home park.
(f) the mobile homes within the park will be assessed and taxed
as normal homes.
4. EXISTING LAND USE
The existing land use in the areas which are the subject of
this amendment is as shown on Plate 3B of the Official Plan.
5, PROPOSED ARTERIAL
In order to provide adequate access to the proposed retirement
community located to the west of Newcastle as new arterial road has
been proposed.
(A-2)
This road, together with abridge crossing Highway 401 and the
Canadian National Railways, will be constructed and used as the
main access while Cobbledick Road and its crossing of the CNR tracks
will be upgraded to the extent necessary that it ,may serve as a
secondary or emergency access.
